A review of the Diabetes Log iPhone App

The iPod Touch is like the iPhone except for the phone … and the GPS … and the camera. Just like the iPhone I can browse the web and check email with Wi-Fi, and play movies, music and games downloaded from the iTunes App Store. It’s a super ultra-portable. I have an iPod Touch and I [...]

New Year, New Intentions

Well it’s a New Year and time to set the direction of my intentions for the year. Some call them “resolutions”. My MacBook’s dictionary defines a resolution as “a firm decision to do or not to do something”. But resolutions without plans lead nowhere. Like a destination without a roadmap. What [...]

Low Carb Beer Recommendations

One of the challenges of being a Belgian beer and Ale drinker who also has diabetes is that most of the great tasting brews have a lot of carbohydrates and some have a lot of alcohol. Alcohol presents an interesting problem. The carbohydrates raise blood sugars ( within minutes ) but the alcohol lowers blood [...]

I'm Type 1.5 (LADA). I was diagnosed at a very young age of 39 (LOL). I took it all in stride. The need to weight my food. No more enjoying a cup of ice cream with the kids on a hot summer after noon. The need to test, test and test some more. I h...

Diabetes Alert Day.

Received an internal email from the matabolic research side of the company promoting Diabetes Alert Day in collaboration with the ADA. I think it totally misses the opportunity to bring aware to the different types of diabetes. As a Type 1 I get the ignorant "you got to exercise and lower your blood pressure' comments. People sometimes ignore the rather thin 140lb, 5ft 4in, human being standing in front of them.

Here's the link:

I have an iPod Touch and I have diabetes and I am a geek. So of course I launch the App Store on my iPod and search for "diabetes" and find a few diabetic applications. One of these is,… Continue

At 4:57pm on June 2, 2009, Frank Olsen said…: Hi Khurt, I see you also have a low A1C. My endo, at the University of Washington, Seattle WA wants me to have it higher he says that since it's an average, that 5.7 means I dip hypo to often and that has as much detrimental effect long term than does a slightly higher A1C around 6.2 or even higher. I argue with him about that because since I have started using a Navigator CGM I rarely dip hypo anymore and my A1C average has a closer range than it did when I was just testing 12 times a day and my A1C was the same but I couldn't catch the hypos and hypers as quickly.
